Generation: 1
| 1. |  Major Richard Juson "Dickie" McLaren was born on 13 Dec 1880 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; died on 2 Aug 1917 in Ypres, Belgium; was buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetary, near Poperinghe, Belgium. Notes:
I believe that the 1881 census incorrectly lists Michael J. McLaren - I think it was a typo, intended to be Richard J. McLaren, since the dates align so closely with the personal family records, and his age listed on his marriage record.
Richard was killed in action in WW1.
Richard married Eleanor Marguerite "Reitta" Moore on 22 Dec 1909 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Eleanor (daughter of Lyman Moore and Emily Jane Eleanor Warner) was born on 11 Jun 1882 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
